Out-of-Pocket Medical Expense

Post Reply New Topic

Any ideas on how to raise money/where to find financial assistance for $500 of audiological testing? Apparently, none of the audiologists who accept my insurance perform CAPD assessments.

If you can find a hospital or a clinic affiliated with a big medical establishment I would ask them about financial assistance. Some places will write off all or part of a bill if you can prove financial need. This usually requires filling out a form similar to a federal tax 1040.

I would try to determine ahead of time how much they would write off. Some hospitals are pretty generous about write offs. Others go through the motions, don't give people any actual write off then hound them legally for the bill. So getting a straight answer first would be wise.

Many people I know have had good luck with Gofundme.
